Group 4

We ended the class by doing a recap. relearning all the techniques and planning our action plan for tomorrow!! Whoo hoo Here are groups 1 and 2

Groups 3 and 4 :) We are all looking at groups 1 and 2 side because there's a student that is telling us what she learned today :) We do that every single day! We say what we know now that we didn't know before which forces us to think back and grasp as much as we can during the process so we could share our experience and what we learned in class!!


After class! Marisela and I went to the "secret" computer lab( this computer lab is open for all students at AI. you need a student ID to enter and the computer lab is packed with students!!!!) to print some recipes for (derivative mother sauces) or small sauces! Hey culinary arts has calculus too! get it? Derivatives haha :p

Today ended nicely! Tomorrow is food safety and sanitation class with Mr. Romaine and Chef Cochran for fundamentals of classic! How did your day end today? If you have any questions, comments or concerns FEEL FREE TO COMMENT BELOW!!! Stay tuned for derivative mother sauces!! Hope you enjoyed this blog! Talk to you tomorrow! Take Care
